Description
Icelandic author Andri Snaer Magnason reflects on the urgent issues facing our planet in his new book On Time and Water. Drawing on ancient myths, personal stories, and scientific insights, he explores the impact of melting glaciers, rising seas, and changing acidity levels that haven't been seen for 50 million years. Through a unique blend of travel, history, science, and philosophy, Magnason grapples with the consequences of climate change and our place within it. With a personal and introspective approach, he weaves together threads of culture, spirituality, and environmentalism to create an absorbing narrative that invites readers to consider their relationship with time, water, and the natural world. By examining the intersections of science, philosophy, and human experience, On Time and Water offers a thought-provoking exploration of our planet's future.
